Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 493: Crazy Collection of Corpse Bugs

Only Jingshu's group knew the details clearly because she had also experienced it once.

"Let me go meet Hao Yunlai." Jingshu drove the Shark Submarine to Hao Yunlai's house without saying a word. Yang Yang was holding his syringe and considering whether to give Hao Yunlai a few injections.

Hao Yunlai had lost a lot of weight and had dark circles under his eyes, looking just like a panda. He was using a wooden stick to force his eyelids open, lying on the bed, muttering to himself, "A little to the left, yes, a little to the right, give it a harder blow."

Hao Saner, hiding in the corner, was trembling in fear and looked like he was about to kneel down.

"Tsk tsk, Hao Yunlai's brain is not normal now. The sequelae are quite serious. He keeps talking to himself. I told him to give him a sleeping injection, but he refused to take it no matter what." Yang Yang shook his head and said.

Jing Shu gently put down the box, took off her gloves and hat, and took a deep breath. "Hao Yunlai, tell me what happened?"

Hao Yunlai turned his head with difficulty. He was really in a state of falling asleep at any moment. He forced himself to speak:

"Jingshu, thank you for saving my life and pulling me out of hell, but I can't sleep. I don't dare. It's too scary down there. It's really scary."

Jing Shu pondered. It seemed the sequelae were quite serious. Is there any treatment for them now so that Hao Yunlai would stop dreaming? Jing Shu touched her chin and thought. At that time, it was a red crystal that could save people in terms of time. If it was used again, it might not have any effect.

"Oh right, the Blood Spirit Spring. If I'm not mistaken, the Blood Spirit Spring is the essence extracted from the blood liquid. Since the blood crystal is a product of the fourth dimension, can it eliminate this sequelae after being refined?

"It just so happened that they wanted to give Hao Yun a test. Isn't this the opportunity? But after using it, will he inherit the strongest gene and turn into an ape? Hmm... But who knows, humans may have the strongest genes now, so there won't be a situation like turning into a dinosaur chicken?"

After a long ideological struggle, Jingshu finally decided to give the choice to Hao Yunlai: "If you were allowed to choose to become a gorilla, which might cure your disease, would you be willing?"

Hao Yunlai said painfully, "I'd be willing to be reborn as an animal, not to mention an orangutan."

"Okay, then just drink the medicine in this test tube and try it first." Jingshu handed over the diluted blood-colored spiritual spring, not knowing whether it would work.

In order to test the effect of the blood-colored spiritual spring more comprehensively, Jingshu also tried her best.

By the way, as for the batch of dinosaur eggs laid by the fat chicken, the old hen placed them under her butt like she was protecting her calves, and it seemed that she was planning to hatch them. In this case, Jingshu asked the fat chicken to try and see what could be hatched. Could this be the beginning of an era of new species?

If we can hatch a group of dinosaur chickens with awesome genes that can fight and lay eggs... that would be pretty awesome. Just imagine raising a group of dinosaur chickens at home in the future. If anyone dares to steal, they will be executed on the spot.

But it’s too early to be happy, Jingshu also quickly recorded:

14. Fat chicken hatches dinosaur chicken.

Hao Yunlai drank it without saying a word, then the test tube fell with a snap and he fell asleep again.

Jingshu caught it quickly and thought to herself that it was a close call. After her physique changed, even her reaction ability became much faster.

"You fell asleep... already? Did you give me sleeping pills? Is the effect so quick?" Yang Yang took back the syringe with regret. What a fool this guy was. They were both sleeping pills, but he didn't want to take them because his needle was too small?

Jingshu shrugged, "Okay, it's done. The rest depends on his luck."

So, Hao Yunlai's problem was almost solved, and we were just waiting for Hao Yunlai to wake up and talk about his feelings. However, Jingshu always had a premonition that Hao Yunlai seemed to have been sent to her by God to take the blame. Why did she have such a strange idea... Jingshu didn't know.

...

Anyway, Jingshu finally had some free time. However, this day was the day when the [Red Nematode Processing Factory] officially started operations. My uncle said that he couldn't control the situation and that Jingshu had to come to the factory to calm the situation.

Come down and cut the ribbon.

Jingshu didn't refuse after thinking about it. The Red Threadworm factory was finally getting on the right track, and she was excited. She was even more excited when it started to make a profit. Although the points system had made everyone feel the benefits of points and became dependent on them in recent days, there were always some people who had to try to see if the points could be exchanged for virtual currency.

Look, every time Jingshu checks the balance, there is always a little less. In addition, in recent days, the stimulation of materials has made 98% of people want to integrate into the factory, but there are destined to be not so many types of jobs, so what can the remaining people do?

That’s right, people pushed carts all over the streets and alleys, and went to various places in Wucheng to dig up carrion worms. Then gradually, many people found that they only dug up about 100 to 200 kilograms of carrion worms every day, and at most they could only earn that many points.

It's exhausting, not to mention that they have too few points to be enough. But if they spend less than the factory to collect the goods, then as long as they collect a few thousand kilograms, if they make a profit from the difference, they can get at least a dozen points a day, which is equivalent to a dozen virtual coins. This was simply unimaginable in the past.

The key is that it's easy and profitable. The fastest way to get these bugs is to mobilize the masses who are bored to death to collect them.

But this also requires capital, so in order to mortgage points and borrow virtual currency from the financial department, many people began to go to the entire Wucheng to collect carrion worms, rotten animal corpses, etc.

Look, all the virtual currency that is needed comes from Jingshu's account. So, in just a few days, tens of thousands of virtual currencies have been spent, and this number will continue to increase in the future.

Because collecting carrion beetles is not a short-term job, it is even a job that lasts for a long time.

Jingshu hesitated for a long time about this. If she wanted to raise carrion worms herself, she would have to feed them. No matter what food it was, she still had to feed them.

They are far less numerous than the carrion beetles that are almost dominating the continent. These bugs can be found everywhere. If you are not careful when sleeping at night, they will bite you all over. They will even eat their own people. They are definitely the most numerous and tenacious cockroaches in the apocalypse.

Therefore, it is the most convenient and fastest way to collect carrion worms at a low price. It can also promote the circulation of virtual currency, give these people the opportunity to make money, and promote employment. If Jingshu holds too much virtual currency in her hands and the virtual currency is not circulated, no one will have money to buy carrion worms.

Do you know what the consequences are?

If no one has virtual currency, and then there is no virtual currency to buy red nematodes to eat, everyone will starve to death. What will the government do? The result is to give away the red nematodes for free, and in the end Jingshu will still be the one who loses.
